Hey everyone,

My name is Ken. I just moved to Warner Robins, GA after getting my first job and decided it was time to start a new project!

I currently drive a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V which is definitely the worst car I've ever owned.

I am looking to pick up an FC rolling chassis next week and will be putting in an LSX engine into it. Which one depends on what I can find and what will actually work.

My former cars were Subarus, owned a 2002 WRX and a 2000 RS which I initially swapped with the motor out of the '02 and then swapped in a JDM STI EJ207 with a twin-scroll. Ended up totalling that, hence the crappy SE-R now.

 

Took me forever, but I finally got an FC RX7 rolling chassis. $600 for the chassis, already had the interior removed, but came with it in boxes. Also has a widebody which I have started modifying since it fits terribly. Also put a deposit on an LS1 and T56, should be picking it up very soon so I can start the install process!

 

should be a beast when its done. iu too come from the subaru world. i had an 03 wrx, andan 04 sti with a built rtated stup makng 525whp

 

Why you going with a piston heart in a rotary body?

 

Reliability and knowledge. I know very little about how to take care of a rotary engine. This race car is a learning experience, but I'm an aero engineer, not mechanical. I want the engine to work as flawlessly as possible with little needed from me. I want to take the time I would be spending on the engine and put it towards bodywork, Aerodynamics and setup. That's what I want to learn about.

 

Do you work on aircraft? Design?

 

Yes. Mainly reliability, damage tolerance and repair designs. The air force likes to break stuff
